Welcome to Solihull

It is considered by many to be one of the best places – and some would argue the finest – to live in Britain. And while we understand that personal taste should be considered when discussing the best British towns, it’s clear to see that Solihull certainly does fit the bill when it comes to quality of life.

We’ll start off with the obvious, because it’s the first thing anyone notices when they arrive in Solihull, and that’s the fact that it’s breathtakingly gorgeous. Not only are its streets stunning and filled to the brim with wonderful restaurants, cafes, pubs, shops and other local businesses, but that’s before you even look at the incredible feats of architecture found all around.

Examples include the 16th-century Tudor mansion Packwood House and the splendidly medieval Maxstoke Castle. Perhaps though there’s no example more exemplary of the area’s eye candy than the natural assets Solihull has for you to enjoy.

Clowes Wood Nature Reserve, Hilfield Park, Shirley Park, Tudor Grange Park and Umberslade Adventure all provide ample opportunity to take in the breath-taking greenery and enjoy the fresh air. They also offer the perfect day out away from the stresses of modern life.

That’s not to say that Solihull is not a modern town though: far, far from it. It boasts excellent modern transport links connecting it to the links of Oxford, London and Birmingham, among many other areas across the country. In fact, it’s even within distance of an international rail station should you desire to venture any further.

However, considering everything that Solihull has to offer, including excellent economic and educational opportunities, we wouldn’t be surprised if you decide that there’s no need to go anywhere else. Nonetheless, it’s great to have the option and Solihull has proven that it is a town as practical as it is unforgettable.

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a government scheme that allows buyers to purchase a share in a property, usually between 10% and 75%, while paying a reduced market rent to a housing association on the remainder. The scheme gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new-build or resales property.
